SAN ANTONIO — The Hawks gave up eight 3-pointers in the third quarter, giving the Spurs plenty of confidence to erase a 24-point deficit. The Hawks (35-36) fell 126-118 on Sunday.
Here are five observations:
1. There was still plenty of time for the Hawks to regain their stride after guard Trae Young hit a floater at the third-quarter buzzer. They led 114-108 with 7:30 remaining, but the Hawks could not find the right shots and gave up several empty possessions.
